B. Turn the key to the right and release it when the
engine starts.
5. When the engine starts, allow it to warm up for at least
one minute; longer in cooler temperatures.
Note: If the engine fails to start after three attempts,
repeat steps 2 through 4.
Stopping the Engine
Release the blade control bail. Both the engine and the
blade should stop. If they do not stop properly, contact
your Authorized Service Dealer.
Using the Self-propel Drive
To operate the self-propelled drive, simply walk forward
with your hands on the upper handle. As you move
forward, the upper handle will slide toward the lawn
mower, activating the self-propelled drive. The faster you
walk, the farther the handle will slide and the faster the
lawn mower will propel (Fig. 14).

3. Starter handle
Note: The lawn mower propels at the maximum speed
when you push in the upper handle as far forward as
possible.
To slow down the drive, simply slow your walking speed;
to stop the drive, stop walking (Fig. 14).
Note: If, when backing up after self-propelling, the lawn
mower does not roll backward freely, nudge the lawn
mower forward about an inch without engaging the
self-propelled drive, then pull the lawn mower backward.
Adjusting the Cutting Height
The SmartWheel
has two cutting scales: Sparse/Normal
and Lush—to ensure the best cutting height setting in any
mowing condition (Fig. 15). Use the Sparse/Normal scale
during the warm summer season for the majority of your
mowing. The Lush scale is for thick, moist, and succulent
grass that grows most often in the spring.

Cut the grass at the D, E, or F settings or keep the
grass between 2 to 3 inch (51 to 75 mm) high.
